Archive Song: Eminem – “Hail Mary” ft. 50 Cent & Busta Rhymes

In 2001, Ja Rule remade 2Pac’s song “Pain” from the Above the Rim sessions, retitled the song “So Much Pain”, and left in 2Pac’s second verse as it was in the original song. Numerous others, especially his rivals, took offense to Ja Rule trying to emulate 2Pac. As a result, 50 Cent, Eminem and Busta Rhymes did a remix of “Hail Mary” in 2003. The lyrics were reworked to feature numerous shots at Ja Rule, including several lines aimed at his “imitation” of 2Pac.

In the hook, Eminem sings:

“Come get me If you motherfuckers want Shady If Pac was still here now He would never ride with Ja Na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na.”
